family style meal?Steak with a baked potato and a bottle of cabernet
sauvignon. Something rich, followed by
port, chocolate cake, cigars, cognac and more cigars. I know odd but this is comforting to me.Describe the perfect vacation.One of two scenarios:
Either A: Ibiza with that lovely foreign girl or B: Fiji with the one
who sparkles. There would be only one other currently, but that’s my mystery. I
know, cryptic answers but even the bad boy of romance has to have a few secrets
;)What are your hobbies?Most readers know I enjoy cigars, pipes, fine alcohol (wine
usually) sex, women, kink, whip throwing, reading, the occasional bit of spare
time I get, I’ll pick up my five string electric bass.What kinds of things do
you read when you’re researching a new book?Gun info, drug info, health issues, travel stuff depending
on where I’m setting the book. I tend to
also research how to take down governments for some of the larger stories I’m
working on, though I also end up with a lot of research on Spetsnaz Ops,
Hungary, languages, that sort of thing.If the hero of your latest
book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?Let’s make it a “HER” and it’d probably be Paper Waves, by
The Gathering.About the Book
